Aha! It’s been awhile since I’ve done a video review, but now my voice is back! The prey of my voice? The Wii exclusive No More Heroes 2: Desperate Struggle. Published by Ubisoft, this title is the follow up to the 2008 Wii classic No More Heores. And while No More Heroes 2 improves on many aspects of the original, it falls a bit short. Why?

The gaming industry is one of the fastest growing in the world. But even in the short time that it has been around, we all have seen some amazing, scary, embarrassing, and rage inducing events. At these moments we make a poopie face. You may be asking, “what is a poopie face?” Well, it isn’t necessarily one particular emotion. It is simply a moment where you feel an extreme emotion, and your face reflects that often with an over-exaggerated expression; a poopie face.

Check out some of the most poopie face moments in gaming on TheSpeedGamers.

If you had a gamecube, chances are that you simply had it for some big exclusives like Wind Waker, Super Mario Sunshine, and Metroid Prime. But there were occasionally some third party sequels as well, like Lost Kingdoms from Activision. This title is a fun action-adventure card game that plays very similar to the PS3 exclusive, Folklore.

Are you allergic to yellow? Then don’t click the link! There’s some yellow to be had thanks to some lovely accidental lighting! But if yellow doesn’t bother you, then you should over to TheSpeedGamers! Despite writing articles all the time, and occasionally doing videos, I actually have a face! The face you see above talks about Nintendo’s upcoming first party line-up for Nintendo 3DS… and how it is fairly disappointing.

If you played Quake II on the PC, then you know basically nothing about the N64 version of Quake II. Aside from the visual and sound design, the game is almost entirely different. Although Quake II fans shouldn’t be running out to buy this version. Why?

Do you like ICO or Zelda? You should definitely give Lost in Shadow a look! While flawed, the game is essentially a 2D action adventure title with a heavy focus on puzzles. Sounds good to me! And it was pretty good. But don’t take my word for it.

Since Rare hasn’t exactly been on the Nintendo scene lately, thanks to Microsoft buying them quite some time ago, Retro Studios took over the development on this entry. Did they succeed in bringing back the Donkey Kong magic, or is it just a platformer with D.K.’s face plastered all over it?
